Along with the warmth, ants may come into the house, rushing towards the smell of food, gathering near the sink or near kitchen cabinets.

Killing insects one by one is long and tedious, and few people want to douse their home with “chemicals”.

However, smart housewives have come up with a simpler and safer method. Many of them have noticed that the ants move strictly along a certain path.

To make insects leave their home, you need to show that they are not welcome here. For this, use black pepper or ground turmeric.

You need to sprinkle spices on the ants' "routes". You should sprinkle any such paths so that the insects leave the house as soon as possible.

The trick is that ants communicate using pheromones. The aroma of spices disrupts established communication, so the insects decide to leave the inhospitable house.

Some experts recommend simply purchasing special preparations that repel ants or are capable of killing them.
